    Adobe's Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP): Background [DRAFT -- Caroline Arms, 2011-11-30] Contents • Introduction • Adobe's XMP Toolkits • Links to Adobe Web Pages on XMP Adoption • Appendix A: Mapping of PDF Document Info (basic metadata) to XMP properties • Appendix B: Software applications that can read or write XMP metadata in PDFs • Appendix C: Creating Custom Info Panels for embedding XMP metadata Introduction Adobe's XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform: http://www.adobe.com/products/xmp/) is a mechanism for embedding metadata into content files. For example. an XMP "packet" can be embedded in PDF documents, in HTML and in image files such as TIFF and JPEG2000 as well as Adobe's own PSD format native to Photoshop. In September 2011, XMP was approved as an ISO standard.[ ISO 16684-1: Graphic technology -- Extensible metadata platform (XMP) specification -- Part 1: Data model, serialization and core properties] XMP is an application of the XML-based Resource Description Framework (RDF; http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-rdf-primer-20040210/), which is a generic way to encode metadata from any scheme. RDF is designed for it to be easy to use elements from any namespace. An important application area is in publication workflows, particularly to support submission of pictures and advertisements for inclusion in publications. The use of RDF allows elements from different schemes (e.g., EXIF and IPTC for photographs) to be held in a common framework during processing workflows. There are two ways to get XMP metadata into PDF documents: • manually via a customized File Info panel (or equivalent for products from vendors other than Adobe).

  • Digital Forensics Tool Testing – Image Metadata in the Cloud
    Digital Forensics Tool Testing – Image Metadata in the Cloud Philip Clark Master’s Thesis Master of Science in Information Security 30 ECTS Department of Computer Science and Media Technology Gjøvik University College, 2011 Avdeling for informatikk og medieteknikk Høgskolen i Gjøvik Postboks 191 2802 Gjøvik Department of Computer Science and Media Technology Gjøvik University College Box 191 N-2802 Gjøvik Norway Digital Forensics Tool Testing – Image Metadata in the Cloud Abstract As cloud based services are becoming a common way for users to store and share images on the internet, this adds a new layer to the traditional digital forensics examination, which could cause additional potential errors in the investigation. Courtroom forensics evidence has historically been criticised for lacking a scientific basis. This thesis aims to present an approach for testing to what extent cloud based services alter or remove metadata in the images stored through such services. To exemplify what information which could potentially reveal sensitive information through image metadata, an overview of what information is publically shared will be presented, by looking at a selective section of images published on the internet through image sharing services in the cloud. The main contributions to be made through this thesis will be to provide an overview of what information regular users give away while publishing images through sharing services on the internet, either willingly or unwittingly, as well as provide an overview of how cloud based services handle Exif metadata today, along with how a forensic practitioner can verify to what extent information through a given cloud based service is reliable.

  • SPECULATIONS on the MEGAPIXEL RACE OR "DO I NEED a + 32 MEGAPIXEL SENSOR?" by S.Saragosa A.K.A
    SPECULATIONS ON THE MEGAPIXEL RACE OR "DO I NEED A + 32 MEGAPIXEL SENSOR?" By S.Saragosa a.k.a. tjshot Recent announcements of 24 Mpxls APS-C and rumors of 36 Mpxls full frame sensors seem to have changed the scenario for digital camera enthusiasts, triggering opposite reactions: some of us are out of the skin to get the new babies (I'm among them) while others seem to question the effectiveness of such upgrades. We had similar doubts in the past when upgrading to higher density sensors and I've read many articles on the internet stating that you don't really need more than about 20 Mpxls full frame sensor (due to lense diffraction/aberration, sensor sampling performance etc.) I hardly agree. At the level of development we have reached today a small increase of pixel pitch (effective sampling rate -> sharpness and resolution boost) in the sensor will induce a much higher (square growth law) megapixel count, thus requiring much larger in-camera buffer memory, faster data saving channels, more powerful computers etc. At the same time noise control becomes increasingly difficult (square growth law) due to higher amplification of the signal needed to achieve the same ISO rating; on the other side smaller pitch sensors seem to produce a much more even and defined noise, partly counterbalancing the degradation in quality (think about the terrible "pepper" grain in Canon EOS 5D compared to the smoother Canon EOS 7D). Many additional elements factor in, resulting in final image quality: A/D converter performance (12bit to 14bit seems to produce a very high boost in dynamic range, noise performance etc.), image processor, firmware etc.

  • Are You Ready for a Digital Camera? by Jennifer Ruisaard and Conrad Turner
    Are You Ready for a Digital Camera? by Jennifer Ruisaard and Conrad Turner Digital cameras flashed onto the technology scene a few years ago, threatening the future of conventional photography. Employing the same elements as traditional cameras, digital cameras convert images into a series of pixels that computers can understand and display directly on-screen. These digital images transmit easily through e-mail attachments and are instantly ready to use. The quality of digital images improved drastically over the last five years. In addition, digital cameras offer the benefits of speed, flexibility, and cost savings. Digital photographs are easy to retouch and manipulate through programs such as Photoshop. Furthermore, digital images do not need to be scanned. Therefore, defects introduced by the scanning process are eliminated. Types of Digital Cameras The digital photography market offers consumers three types of cameras: low-, mid-, and high-range. Buyers of digital cameras should choose a camera depending on their specific needs and the type of job to be done. Low-end digital cameras cost around $1,000 and are equivalent to conventional point-and- shoot cameras. Their low resolution, usually about 640 ´ 480 pixels, makes them a cost-effective tool for jobs that do not require high quality, sharpness, or color accuracy. This range of cameras can produce quality prints up to 2.4 ´ 1.8 inches at 133 lpi (266 ppi), which is sufficient for small brochures, advertisements, and catalog images. The next group of digital cameras, called mid-range, cost between $5,000 and $15,000. These cameras are essentially traditional Single Lens Reflex (SLR) camera bodies.
